Abstract: The purpose of this study is to collect data on consumer understanding of multiple prescription drug indications in direct-to-consumer television advertisements. We plan to conduct two pretests (N=60 each) and two main studies (N=402 in Study 1; N=402 in Study 2) with US adults. Pretests and main studies will be 20 minutes and administered via Internet panel. In each study, we will vary the indications presented (one indication, one indication plus a similar indication, one indication plus a dissimilar indication) in a television ad for a fictitious prescription drug for diabetic neuropathy (pretest 1 and Study 1) or rheumatoid arthritis (pretest 2 and Study 2). Participants will view the television ad and answer questions about it.
